The new Immigration Guidelines in Britain which came into effect on January 3rd which allow MPs to appeal on behalf of visitors demanding entry to the UK, only if the circumstances are exceptional or compelling. This brought reactions of discriminations from opposition MP, Paul Boateng and Minister responsible for Immigration, Tim Renton. The Prime Minister of the Republic of China Li Peng visits the Dominican Republic on a goodwill tour and at a time when Taiwanese businessmen injected some twelve million dollars (US) in the country's textiles and fishing industry. The Asian businessmen are taking advantage of the duty free imports to the United States under the Caribbean Basin Initiative. In the British Press, articles that are of interest to the Caribbean include a protocol breach when two Jamaican students visit Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at her office and when a question from a journalist was not directed to the event. Other reports included fast bowlers in cricket and the implications for cricketers playing in South Africa because of apartheid. The report concluded with the possible resolution of players playing in South Africa with the acceptance of a West Indian proposal.
